A whimsical wonderland of many trails to choose from for all different skill levels. I entered on the Stamford side which has two levels of parking lots that are smaller and fill up quickly. I parked by the old red barn and walked over the bridge and entered the trailhead at the starting point. I had intentions of doing the 4mi loop around and started out on that trail following the yellow markers which then turned into green/ yellow and did not end up back where I started. The markers were a little confusing and I didn't feel it was accurate to the map. I loved the trails! From the River Trail along the water, to passing big boulders of rocks, the park was beautiful. I did however come out on the Greenich side and found out I was on the complete opposite side of the park of where I had parked. With this being my first time here, it was a little difficult to navigate. Talked to a few locals who were able to give me directions back. It was a great 7mi walk with a few bumps in the trails : )

It’s just damp woods. It was okay for a trail run in the woods. Not overly crowded (it was near dusk on a weekday). A lot of dog walkers and folks out for a quick stroll. Not bad for a quick taste of nature. Heavy mosquito activity. No viewpoints, points of interest or overlook of any kind that I could find. Most of the trails that I ran on were very similar in terrain as well. The drive there is on a very narrow yet well maintained road, neat houses to look at, with few others on the road. I may go back as it’s one of the few places to go to in the area.

Busy place on a nice Sunday Afternoon. Parking is a premium and I was lucky to get a spot but I knew that from other reviews. Lots of trails with a fair amount of people. It's a very pretty area. Shared with runners and mountain bikers so be alert. Lots of dogs which are supposed to be on leash and only ran into a couple off leash. Would go back again.

Took my first trip here today for a hike. Not too much elevation made for more of a walk in the woods. Many of the side trails are not blazed, so we got turned around a couple of times. Parking was very limited, so we parked up the road at Fort Stamford. Definitely a nice relaxing trip if you that's what you're going for.

Easygoing, scenic trails. There's a nice variety to see between fisherman seeking brown trout & frogs inhabiting the river, dogwalkers, mountain biking, joggers, fancy homes, and winding trees. Decent amount of parking but bear in mind to use a restroom before visiting: the red barn building on premise is locked up.
